 The length of an [[:Game Mechanics:Encounter#Encounter|Encounter]] is variable and is largely determined by the needs of the story. As a general rule, an [[:Game Mechanics:Encounter#Encounter|Encounter]] lasts for the duration of a single event, conversation or challenge. While the [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Game Master]] will typically determine when an [[:Game Mechanics:Encounter#Encounter|Encounter]] begins and ends, the [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Cast Member|Cast]] are encouraged to help identify these transitions, as [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Appropriate]]. The length of an [[:Game Mechanics:Encounter#Encounter|Encounter]] is variable and is largely determined by the needs of the story.
